Looks like Mondo's RSD release will be the Paranorman Soundtrack as a Picture Disc.  Invada is releasing the soundtrack to the videogame Far Cry 3:  Blood Dragon on vinyl for RSD.

I dig his songs, but when I saw him here, he would tell people to "shh" when he was singing. Then he would say, "Shut the fuck up" if they didn't be quiet.

You've got to be kidding.

Got this in yesterday. Looks great. 52/300. Half GID/half orange.
 
The entire jacket is high gloss and the numbering is foil stamped on the back corner now. Much better than on a sticker on the shrink.
 

They pressed this too many times at this point.

I definitely understand where you're coming from. I was not sure what the allure of doom as a whole, nevermind a one hour long track of it was at first but after watching this segment (and sometime after the whole documentary), I gained a certain respect for it. After a certain time of dabbling in heavier music, to my amazement I somehow came to consider this as the essential masterpiece of heavy underground music, as it really is. There's not many doom-stoner bands that haven't been influenced by Sleep at some point. Plus there's also the fact that all the dudes are just stand-up guys and true musicians who have soul. Either way you look at it, the dudes were pioneers by doing what they felt needed to be out there.
 

 
Oftentimes when I don't 'get' something but am still fascinated by the music/band I look for interviews to gain some insight and try to relate to it on some level. That said, Dopesmoker's definitely a glorification of bong hits and you will obviously appreciate it differently if you're prone to that sort of deal. That I think determines whether you really get a feel for the lyrics or they just seem too out there for you. But with those those vocals and that riff. That and the backdrop of how it all came to fruition. It all comes together for one religious stoner experience.
 
To me, what Sleep started and what a lot of bands have carried forward from then on, including SunnO, is this in some way an organic form of music. Being stripped down to what of course could be said to be monotonous music but could also be said to be what is like a pulse of life or whatever. That's what heavy drones and riffs achieve, to me at least. It's just a primal sonic experience.

Oh thank goodness, I almost spent way too much on this.

Not sure if this goes here or in the Mondo thread. 
 
Either way, for people who missed the Maniac soundtrack: http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3274130/death-waltz-to-release-special-one-off-u-s-copy-of-maniac-ost/

That Vault package should have been for singles around Get Behind Me Satan... I don't know what he's waiting for.

Very nice looking, but $60 for four 7" singles?

If you guys missed out on this, there are some copies available online over at Bull Moose.

When Flood made that thread about how pressing plants are just getting more and more backed up, this was the kind of bullshit he was referring to. A cursory glance at Discogs says I can get original pressings of most of these for less than $20, and most of their 80s output in particular hovers around 6 bucks apiece. I'm sure these are all limited to 10,000 copies worldwide, too.

anyone in the us who ordered from rough trade get theirs yet?

i asked them about it last week and they told me that they'll get the records around christmas... im expecting it to show up sometime in january

got an email from LITA on Dec. 2 saying they were still waiting for AOP13 stock, then got shipping notification on Dec. 5

Just in time for...next Christmas?

I got both. What the hell. Might discover some new stuff. 
 
Thanks for posting this, ksuwdboots.

Big Trouble? Checks username. Yup, I would be all over that one.

I snagged # 196 from my local Newbury Comics a few weeks ago. Sounds amazing!

Definitely subbed.  Always.

The new song has the surface noise built right in!

New track and music video released on youtube, also if you pre-ordered through Bleep I recommend logging in as you have a FREE treat awaiting you
 

picked this up today at Backside in Burbank.  Very nice packaging as usual - printed sleeves (with lyrics for once!), 180 gram black, gatefold, came with a glossy print so I think that will be at all indie record stores.
 

Pics of the Get on Down version.
 

"no shit" - everyone who pre-ordered it.
